❤️ HAPPY ENDING: PRETZEL ❤️<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dogs take a little longer to find their forever home. Pretzel took 149 days\u2026 but every single day was worth it. 🐾<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Pretzel first came into rescue, he was a handsome little stray found in an area known for dog dumping. He arrived playful, goofy and sweet, quickly showing us what a wonderful boy he was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His journey wasn\u2019t completely smooth. There were three entropion surgeries, countless vet visits, the latest was after one of his famous zoomies that ended with a laceration, and 7 stitches. He was also adopted once only to return after he and the resident dog discovered that being great dogs individually, didn\u2019t mean they were meant to live together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right home was out there, thankfully Pretzel\u2019s foster family was patient and supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His vivacious spirit caught the attention of Thelma\u2019s parents. Thelma, being an equally happy Shar Pei with a bubbly personality. She needed a friend who understood Pei-play and could keep up. Right away, Pretzel proved she met her match and the two of them tired each other out\u2026like the\u2019ve known each other forever! They walk, frolic and snuggle together like two best friends. Pretzel jumped into their lives, settled down and cuddled his way into their hearts. This was definitely worth the wait! Congratulations Pretzel\u2026. New name Teddy, Thelma and your new mom & dad! We look forward to your updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
